I’m an American
4 oct.
I appreciate America’s for it’s unbiased take on American elections. However Justin seems to be lagging behind current events sometimes. In the most recent episodes he made the claim that Kamala Harris hasn’t been doing interviews, which is not a fair criticism considering that she has been doing tons. She had an interview with Oprah, has one coming up 60 minutes, her interview on the All the Smoke Podcast was a massive hit, and she’s done scores of local news and radio interviews. All in all a good podcast, but Justin, please stop putting your foot in your mouth lol
Too biased
8 oct.
I used to be a loyal listener but lately Justin’s biases seem really to be showing. I was hoping for an outside perspective but his misogyny is really turning me off. Oh and Justin Melania is the first real feminist First Lady really??? Who do you expect to swallow that?
SLOW DOWN THE AUDIO!!!!
8 oct.
I’m an Englishman living in The USA and have enjoyed enough of the content in this podcast to give it a weekly listen. That was the case until recently when this and many other podcasters started to speed up their audio to a point where it’s nerve wracking. No, it’s not about the playback speed we can control in the podcast app because if I slow it down to .75 then it sounds too slow and laborious. Why have so many podcasters recently decided that their audiences want to listen to the audio at a million miles per hour? I don’t get it. The world’s bonkers enough. Podcasters, CALM DOWN!
Letting that Corporate Wartime bias show
5 oct.
This was a decent show. The corporate bias is really showing though. To do entire podcast episodes on, “What’s going on with the Middle East and how is this effecting America?” Yet not once mentioning AIPAC or DMFI is negligent journalism. It’s all about the money in US politics and this show just treats that as a feature and not the malware. I can’t stomach listening anymore.
